In celebration of the much-anticipated film Paddington 3 which begins shooting on 24th July in Peru, specialist tour operator Journey Latin America is delighted to relaunch their most popular family holiday for 2023 From Paddington to Peru.

As the title of the film suggests, 'Paddington in Peru' will see everyone's favourite marmalade-loving bear returning to 'deepest darkest Peru', his country of birth. Fans of the Paddington franchise will be thrilled to learn that Journey Latin America's 14-day 'From Paddington to Peru' family holiday offers a unique opportunity to meet and learn about the endangered spectacled bears in their own environment.

This holiday will involve a visit to a bear sanctuary near the famous Machu Picchu and another in the north of the country called Chaparri Reserve, a conservation area in Peru's dry forest biome. Here abandoned and injured bears are cared for before they are released back into the surrounding wilderness.

This adventurous holiday also offers budding explorers the opportunity to discover pre-Inca burial sites where royal tombs are filled with 1700-year-old funeral offerings as well as active adventures in Peru's Sacred Valley including hiking, biking and white-water rafting.

The holiday costs from £3,280 per person and includes good-quality hotels on a B&B basis, transfers, excursions and domestic flights. International flights are extra and start at £866 per person.

“July and August are wonderful months to be in the Andes so families who are looking to set off on a family holiday next summer, should consider this innovative holiday that explores some of Peru's top highlights as well as some of the region's hidden gems in the north." Laura Rendell-Dunn, PR and Business Development Manager.
